Members of the Fairfax High basketball team got a private meeting with LeBron James on Saturday. He gave them a pep talk before their scheduled City Section Open Division playoff game tonight.

“It was really a humbling experience,” Coach Steve Baik said of the 15-minute gathering arranged as part of a Nike event during NBA All-Star weekend in Los Angeles. Fairfax is sponsored by LeBron’s signature shoe.

“These kids will remember this the rest of their lives,” Baik said. “It was special.”
